TRUSTEES’ REPORT.
To the Taxpayers of the Village of Rutland:
The Trustees for the Village of Rutland submit herewith
their report of the orders drawn by them on the treasurer, to¬
gether with a detailed statement of their expenditures for the
year ending April 28th, 1886,
As there has been so much argument pro and con relative
to the extravagance in the expenditures and misappropriation
of the funds at their disposal, your Trustees deem it due to
themselves to make a report as clear as is possible, that each
taxpayer can judge for himself as to the misappropriation of
the funds, also as to the propriety of the passing the resolu¬
tion suspending all work, street lights, police services, etc., in
December, 1885, after the Treasurer had notified the Trustees
there were no funds in his hands to meet the expenses. Several
special meetings were called to devise means to bridge over
the matter until the annual meeting, but without avail until
February 2d, 1886, at which meeting a vote was passed au¬
thorizing the Trustees to raise the sum of $>2,000, and restrict¬
ing the said Trustees to the said sum of $2,000 in their ex¬
penditures for the remainder of the fiscal year, and without
providing any method for raising said sum of $2,000.
Your Trustees report that nothing has been done in the
matter of raising said $2,000.
Your Trustees have included all bills contracted to the
time of making up this report, also all bills that have been pre¬
sented and were contracted by E. R. Green, the former street
ANNUAL REPORT, 1 886 .

commissioner, from the making of the last report to the time
J. D. Ellsworth was appointed his successor.
At the last annual meeting it was voted to instruct your
Trustees to raise the sum of $ 15,000 to apply on old indebted¬
ness account, which is included, together with the orders this
board have drawn against that account.
At the commencement of the year your Trustees requested
the Treasurer to give them the full amount of the tax raised
for the year, which he did, as follows:—
Highway tax . , . . . . . . . . . $ 7,356 06
Sewer tax . ..... 4,678 25
Villagetax ............. 11,695 58
Total ..$23,729 89
Add receipts for licenses to the above , $ 286 00
Making a total .......... $24 015 89
And the board based their calculations for expenditures on
the above sum, and supposed that amount was to their credit
to draw against.
Your Trustees have drawn orders for the expenses for the
current year, as will be seen in detail.
To the amount of.$20,156 50
There are bills unpaid, contracted by this
board in amount. 4,354 99
Total spent and unpaid.. $24,511 49
Making the sum of $495.60 over the amount of the tax raised
for the fiscal year just ended.
We have placed the sewers built and repaired on a page
by itself, also the actual cost of lighting the streets by gas and
oil lamps the past year, including repairs and lighting, which
is a part of the expense—also report that for the months of
VILLAGE OF RUTLAND,
January, February, March and April no oil or expense for oil
lamps has been made, and a large number of the gas posts
have been frozen so that they could not be lighted, which
materially lessens the expense from what it would have been
had all the gas posts and oil lamps been burned during that
period.
A sewer is badly needed to take the surface water that
flows down Temple street and the sewage from the houses
just north from Temple street—and a short sewer should be
built on Main street, opposite the residence of Mr. S, E. Burn¬
ham, and connect with the sewer now laid on Burnham av¬
enue, and extend the Burnham avenue sewer to Church street
sewer. Sewers are also needed on East street, south from
Washington street to Jackson avenue; from Granger street
to Forest street; from Baxter street, south from Mineral street;
from Grove street through State street to East Creek, in con¬
formity with the system adopted.
Too much praise cannot be given to the fire department,
which is under the efficient management of Engineers Hannum,
Eddy and Corcoran, each of whom have labored zealously to
keep the department up to its present high standing as a vol¬
unteer organization, which is second to no volunteer organi¬
zation in the land.
To praise the different companies for their past services
would be small recompense for time spent and clothing ruined
while fighting fires, but that is about all they receive.
Do the taxpayers, as a whole, fully appreciate these brave
The “ Gamewell Electric Fire Alarm System ” was adop¬
ted last year and has proved itself of very greaf value to the
fire department, in making their arduous duties less compli¬
cated ; we believe the outlay will in a very brief period gain the
ANNUAL REPORT, 1 886 .

confidence of its opposers and fully meet the expectations of
its advocates.
The police department, though much smaller in propor¬
tion to the population than other places, we have found to be
efficient and faithful in the discharge of their duties. The
good order which prevails and the freedom from the depreda¬
tions of burglars and other criminals which this community
has enjoyed and from which surrounding towns have severely
suffered, attest the excellent manner in which our police offi¬
cers do their duty.
The taxpayers are well aware of the condition of the
roadways. Your Trustees would suggest that some measure
be adopted at the annual meeting, instructing and providing
ways and means for carrying out the same, that your incom¬
ing Trustees may be able to avoid the heretofore fatal error of
drawing on dirt and again drawing it off.
It will be remembered that a vote was passed at a special
meeting, placing one-half of -the highway fund to the sewer
fund.
The Trustees deeming it advisable, and for the best inter¬
ests of the village, to try a different system for lighting a por¬
tion of the streets a short time prior to the annual meeting,
endeavored to contract with the Rutland Electric Light Com¬
pany that the taxpayers might judge for themselves as to the
best system to adopt, but they were restrained by an injunc¬
tion from the Court of Chancery.
This unnecessary and useless litigation, the expense of
which will exceed the cost of electric light for the period pro¬
posed, the complainants now wish to withdraw on the pro¬
position that the village pay all its costs, which proposition
your Trustees decline to accept.
10
VILLAGE OF RUTLAND,
The Trustees report that the village has not been to the
slightest expense in erecting the poles for the electric lights,
neither will the village be called upon to pay anything for the
same at this or any other time. All propositions from the
Electric Light Company, are for the village to pay for the
light—all construction, repairs, maintaining and operating ex¬
penses are to be borne by the Company and not the village.
The reports of the village auditor, treasurer, water com¬
missioner, engineer fire department and attorney, are annexed,
and the voters are referred to them for further details.

A death has occurred in the Board of Trustees for the
first time since the organization of the Village of Rutland,
Samuel Hayward, Trustee for the Sixth Ward, died
February 28th, 1886.
On Monday, March 1st, 1886, at a regular meeting of
the Board of Trustees, the following resolutions were passed
unanimously;—
Resolved , That the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rutland
having heard of the death of one of its members, Mr. Samuel Hayward,
this sad intelligence does not come to us unexpected, as he has not been
able to meet in council with this board for several months. During
this long period he has suffered a most painful illness, which he has
borne with great fortitude and resignation.
Resolved , That as a testimonial of respect to the memory of the
deceased, that the Board of Trustees attend his funeral in a body.
Resolved , That we hereby tender to the family of the deceased
our sympathy in their bereavement, and that a copy of these resolutions
be sent them by the Village Clerk, and also spread upon the village
records,
GEORGE R. BOTTOM, President.

Village Attorney’s Report.
To the Trustees of the Village of Rutland :—
In complance with your request and resolution, “ that the
Village Attorney prepare a statement in detail of his depart¬
ment, and that the same be incorporated in the annual report/’
I submit herewith the following report of the business of this
office, since April, 29, 1885.
At the time of my appointment to said office, in May,
1885, there were pending in different courts the following
suits in which the Village of Rutland was interested.
In the County Court:
Robert Stewart and wife v. The Village.
Marshall Deragon v. The Village,
Admr. Willie Deragon v. The Village.
W. W. Tower and wife v. The Village.
In the Court of Chancery;
The Village v. Darius Carruth,
In the Municipal Court:
J. C. Baker v. The Village.
Robert Stewart and wife v. The Village:—
Petition to the County Court at the March term, 1884,
for the appointment of commissioners to re-assess the damages
for laying a sewer through the plaintiff’s land and discharging
the same in Moon brook on his land, east of Strongs avenue.
The board of trustees awarded him $10 for land damages.
Being dissatisfied with that amount he brought said petition.
Four boards of trustees have advised resisting this claim. In
the hearing before the commissioners last summer, Mr. Stew¬
art claimed $1,000 in damages, which were considered so ex-
ANNUAL REPORT, 1 886 .
51
travagant, and the rulings of the commissioners were such that
your attorney advised the removal of the alleged objectionable
part of said sewer entirely from Stewart’s premises. This the
trustees promptly did, running the same across Strongs avenue
and through lands of E. A. Morse and others, who claimed no
damage, and discharging the same in said brook at the railroad
culvert, at an expense of about §150. This was accomplished
before the hearing was completed, and we have reason to be¬
lieve saved the village at least $500 in the award of the
commissioners. The report of the commissioners was filed
last September term, finding for Stewart to recover ,$150 if it
was legal for them to consider damages on account of the dis¬
charge of said sewer, but if not, then he was to recover $15 by
reason of laying the same through his land. This question
was passed to the Supreme Court and argued last January
term. No decision has yet been rendered. The principle in¬
volved is an important one to the village.
Marshall Deragon v. The Village.
An action for damages on acconnt of defective sewer on
Mineral street Ad damnum $2,000. Entered at the March
term. This was tried before a jury last September term.
After the evidence was in a motion was made by your attor¬
ney, assisted by Col. Walker, that the plaintiff be non-suited.
This motion was granted by the court To this ruling the
plaintiff excepted and the case passed to the Supreme Court.
This case was also argued before the Supreme Court last Jan¬
uary term and again decided in favor of the village and to
recover its costs.
Admr. Willie Deragon v. The Village:—
Action for negligence, demanding $2,000, entered at said
March term, 1884, and grows out of the same circumstances
as the other Deragon suit. It is claimed that the negligence
of the village caused the death of the administrator’s son Wil¬
lie. The suit is still pending.
52
VILLAGE OF RUTLAND
W. W. Tower and wife v. The Village:—
Action for damages for defective sewer on Willow street,
causing an overflow on his premises situated on Edson street.
Ad damnum $2,000. This case is still pending. Your attorney
has been ready for trial during the past year had one been
urged. Further remarks would therefore be improper at this
time. It might be said, however, that every extraordinary
thaw or severe rain storm supplies Edsonville with a sur¬
plus of water, and when it is not interfered with some of it
finds its level on the plaintiffs' premises. After every such
thaw or storm the plaintiffs appear before the board with a
claim for damages. They are now threatening the village
with suit for damages done by such an overflow last January.
Village of Rutland v. Darius Carruth:—
Bill in Chancery entered September term, 1882. An in¬
junction was obtained restraining the defendant, in Mendon,
from throwing sawdust into the stream which supplies the vil¬
lage with water. The injunction is still in force and we have
no reason to believe it has been disobeyed.
Joel C. Baker v. The Village and others :—
This suit was settled during the early part of the year,
according to the terms agreed upon by the old board of Trus¬
tees, and discontinued.
Since my appointment the following suits have been com¬
menced in the County Court:
John Howley v. The Village:—
Action demanding in damages $5,000 for defective sewer
on Franklin street. Entered at the September term, 1885,
and is pending. The deaths of two of plaintiff’s children
are*claimed to have been caused by the negligence of the
village.
John McCormack v. The Village:—
Another sewer suit, demanding $5,000 for negligently re-
ANNUAL REPORT, 1 886 .
S3
pairing, for not repairing and for ill construction of Spruce
street sewer, so-called. In this suit, also, it is claimed that
two children have died through the negligence of the village.
The case was entered at September term, 1885, and is pend-
ing.
Marshall Deragon v. The Village;—*
This suit was commenced last February, immediately af¬
ter the decision of the Supreme Court in favor of the village
in the plaintiff’s other suit already referred to. It demands in
damages $2,000 and is for negligence on the part of the vil¬
lage in respect to the Mineral street sewer. It was entered at
the last March term and continued.
Geo. H. Verder v. John D, Ellsworth and others:—
Action of trespass against the defendants who, under the
directions of the Trustees, abated a nuisance which was claimed
by the Trustees to exist on the plaintiff’s premises. Cause
entered at last March term and continued.
In Chancery:
The Village of Rutland v. Edward H. Ripley:—
Bill of complaint prepared and filed by your attorney on
the 12th day of October, 1885, on which an injunction was
then granted restraining the defendant from cleaning out his
mill pond in Mendon in such a manner as to pollute said
stream which supplies the village with water. This injunction
is still in force. Cause has been entered in court and contin¬
ued,
Wm. M. Field and others v. Wm, B. Thrall and others;—
The history of this case and the hearing on the injunction
against the trustees are, so recent and familiar that a review of
the facts and circumstances need not be made. It should be
said, however, that had the trustees been permitted to carry
out their proposed arrangement with the Rutland Electric
Light Co. for lighting sixteen electric arc lights as an experi-
54
VILLAGE OF RUTLAND,
ment, the expense of lighting the streets would not have been
increased in the least, and the whole amount the Electric Light
Co, would have received under the arrangement would not ex¬
ceed $44, being less than the expense made in the suit. This
amount seems too trivial on which to base a claim for an injunc¬
tion. The orator’s bill has been amended, answers have been
filed to the original and amended bills, motion to dissolve the
injunction has been argued at length by your attorney and
as yet the chancellor has rendered no decision thereon.
V. A. Gaskill and others v. R. R. Mead:—
Petition for mandamus made returnable to the Supreme
court in Montpelier on 3d Tuesday in May next, asking that
Mead, as clerk of the village, may be directed to correct his
records of the village meeting held on Feb. 3d last The pe¬
titioners claiming that the meeting voted $2,000 to pay for
“gas, street work and police service” for the then remainder
of the current year, and also voted to adopt the report of the
committee to investigate street lights, not merely to accept it.
The petition was brought in the interest of the last suit men¬
tioned and to sustain the allegations therein that the trustees
were threatening to exceed their powers and misappropriate
funds, which were voted to pay for gas and not for electricity.
Soon after the hearing to dissolve the injunction in the other
suit, Hon. W. C. Dunton, the solicitor in said causes, gave
your attorney notice not to answer the petition for mandamus,
at the same time offering to dismiss the injunction bill against
the trustees without cost , which the trustees as yet decline to
do.
Before Justice Bailey:
Pat Sullivan v. The Village:—
Action to recover wages which had been assigned by the
plaintiff to one of our merchants to whom the village paid the
wages under the assignment. Trial and judgment for the vil¬
lage to recover its costs.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1 886 .
During the year the village has quite often been sum¬
moned before the courts on trustee process, all of which have
been satisfactorily disposed of.
Several opinions have been given on matters submitted to
your attorney. #
The enforcement of the village ordinances might be faciii-
tated bv an amendment to the village charter authorizing the
policemen in certain flagrant cases to make arrests without a
warrant.
There is no other business in this department which needs
mention, unless it is that there has been in the past a want of
system or lack of precaution and preparation on the part of
the officers in the various departments in obtaining and keeping
a record or memoranda of all facts, circumstances, names of
witnesses and other data, connected with claims and demands
which result in litigation with the corporation. Owing to the
change, usually at each annual election, in the officers of the
village, the incoming trustees and new officers being generally
total strangers to the circumstances, witnesses and other data
material to a defense, the village in the past has quite frequently
been compelled to pay .large damages where no liability what¬
ever existed against it. A suit is commenced under one set of
village trustees and officers, and usually is paid by their succes¬
sors, who “know nothing about the matter,” as they will tell
you, and so they settle. This method and lack of such data
in the preparation for defense are responsible in no small de¬
gree for unjust and unreasonable demands made against the
village, and for the numerous suits now pending against it.
Where the village is liable, a fair adjustment of a claim should
always be made if possible, otherwise, firmly resisted.
Before the title of “village attorney” is subscribed to this
report, it ought to be stated that there is no such official pro¬
vided for by the charter or by-laws, but the trustees have an¬
nually employed an attorney in behalf of the village.
Respectfully,
F. G. SWININGTON,
Village Attorney .

AUDITOR’S REPORT.
To the Village of Rutland ;
I have examined the accounts of your Trustees, Water Commission¬
ers and Treasurer, and find the charges made in their accounts sustained
by vouchers as required by law, and herewith beg to submit my report.
The liabilities on account of the water department are as follows :

A part of the above surplus will doubtless have to be used in mak¬
ing necessary extensions. The $5,000 extended bonds can he retired at
the option of the village, and if the receipts warrant, the commissioners

will probably pay these bonds. The other liabilities of the village are as
follows:

Street lights, .. 5,000 00
Sewers...... 8,000 00 $25,000 00
Amount to be provided for by tax.. $32,544 78
The above amount will require a tax of 65 cents upon the grand list,
in addition to the usual highway tax of 15 cents. There is an increase
of a little more than $3,000 00 in the net liabilities as compared with the
report for last year. A glance at the reports for the past four years
show that the average rate of taxation for the village and sewer pur¬
poses has been 29 cents per annum of the grand list. It may not be
amiss to call the attention of the taxpayers to the fact that to provide
for obligations matured and to mature this year, together with the
amount required for the ensuing year, as per Trustees 5 estimates, will
require an advance in the rate of taxation, over the average for the past
four years, of one hundred and twenty-five per cent. This rapid ad-
62
VILLAGE OF RUTLAND,
vance in the rate of tax required must soon be stopped, either this year,
next year, or at no distant date if we would preserve the credit and en¬
hance the prosperity of our village, as it must be patent to all that our
increase of expenditure is out of all proportion to our increase in wealth
or population. I have not attempted to criticise any methods pursued
in the administration of your affairs, but simply tried to place before
you such facts as I have been able to glean from the reports of the vil¬
lage and the books of your officers.

ENGINEER’S REPORT.
The undersigned, Chief Engineer of the fire department of the Vil¬
lage of Rutland, agreeably to the provisions of section 4 of “ An Ordi¬
nance Establishing a Fire Department,” herewith submits his annual

VILLAGE OF RUTLAND.
Mar. 9, Alarm, box 42, J, M, Putnam’s barn, corner Washington and
Wales streets; partly destroyed; loss covered by insurance;
cause supposed to be incendiary.
Mar. 20, Alarm, box 34, Michael McLaughlin’s house and bam on Green

far from water the department could be of no assistance.
Apr. 15, Alarm, box 34, B. H. Wilkins’ barn on East street, occupied by
E. L. Kimball; bam, total loss; no insurance; Mr. KimbalFs
loss covered by insurance; cause, supposed to be incendiary.
Apr. 17, Alarm, box 47, Mrs. G. C. Ruggles’ barn on Evelyn street; no
loss; cause supposed to be incendiary.
Your apparatus for extinguishing fires consists of one hand engine
built by Cowing Sc Co.; one hand engine built by Hunneman & Co.,
with hose carts; one second-class steam fire engine built by the Amos-
keag Mfg. Co,, with hose carriage; one hook and ladder track, with
ladders, hooks, etc.; four hose companies as follows: J, W, Cramton
Hose Co. No. 4, H. H. Baxter Hose Co. No. 5, J. A. Sheldon Hose Co.
No. 6, J. D. Hanrahan Hose Co. No. 7, AE the companies are fully
manned and commanded by efficient officers.
The Gamewell fire-alarm system consists of five miles of wire, 15
alarm boxes, 1 bell striker, located in the tower of the Congregational
church, 1 indicator, located at the Central Yt. R. R. machine shop, 3
engineers’ gongs. The batteries, etc., are located at the Telephone com¬
pany’s central office.
I would recommend the purchase of 2,000 feet of hose, as our old
hose is in poor condition. This I consider would be economy for the
village, as it would give each reel a change. At present, after a fire it
has to be placed back on the reels before it gets thoroughly dry, and of
course decays much faster than hose that has proper care. The 2,000
feet of hose purchased two years ago is in good condition,
I would call your attention to your hook and ladder track and ask
if any taxpayer in Rutland ever saw in any fire department such a thing
for such a purpose as carrying ladders, hooks, etc. It is in very poor
condition, the trasses are nearly all broken, and in fact it is all to pieces.
It is too heavy for any body of men to draw and a little more than a
span of horses can do to draw it up hill, as a great many can testify by
the trouble we have every inspection day in getting up Washington
street. Quite an outlay will be necessary to put it in any kind of shape.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1 886. 71
I would recommend the purchase of a new truck instead of laying out
any more money on this worthless thing. A good truck would add
much to the efficiency of your department.
The indicator in the machine shop which did not work satisfactorily
has been exchanged for a new one, which does its work perfectly.
I herewith present a statement of the village property in charge of
each company, the location of hydrants, also the location of fire-alarm
boxes and keys thereto, and a list of officers and members of each
company.
CONCLUSION.
My acknowledgements are due the officers and members of the de¬
partment for zeal and efficiency in performance of all their duties.
